When a test hands on a real board there is no way on the console to obtain any information about why it hung.
With sandbox we can actually find out that it died and get a signal or exit code. Add this to make it easier to figure out what happened. So instead of: test/py/u_boot_spawn.py:171: in expect c = os.read(self.fd, 1024).decode(errors='replace') E OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error We get: test/py/u_boot_spawn.py:171: in expect c = os.read(self.fd, 1024).decode(errors='replace') E ValueError: U-Boot exited with signal 11 (Signals.SIGSEGV) Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <s...@chromium.org> --- doc/develop/py_testing.rst | 8 ++++++ test/py/u_boot_spawn.py | 56 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 2 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/develop/py_testing.rst b/doc/develop/py_testing.rst index 52238ca54d3..06f919609b5 100644 --- a/doc/develop/py_testing.rst +++ b/doc/develop/py_testing.rst @@ -103,6 +103,14 @@ will be written to `${build_dir}/test-log.html`.
